Freddie Highmore as Thom and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey as Lorraine are the main characters in the vault maneuvering process though the entire team plays an important part. Then the opening credits roll and the team is assembled as we fast forward to 2010. The treasure is taken and sealed in an vault in Madrid. Actually the film-makers including Director Jaume Balaguerótake their time to establish the connection between past events and present day. The film opens in 2009 with Liam Cunningham as Walter captaining a salvage mission off the cost of Spain to locate treasure in the sea.
#The vault movie review series#
Obvious comparisons to the big budget ‘Ocean’s 11’ series of films will be made, however what is interesting is, given the setting, a backdrop of 2010 Madrid, pre- ultra high tech, pre-drone, much of this film’s revealed science is quite plausible.
The 2017 film is about 20 minutes shorter, although both films revolve around some of the same themes, this one is far more thought out, and has no supernatural elements. This is not the same as the 2017 film with the same name, starring James Franco. On a whim and due to the fact that one of my favorite actresses Famke Jannsen is in it, I checked out the 2021 Saban Films release ‘The Vault’. Greetings valued Dan’s Movie Report and readers. THE VAULT is in cinemas and on iTunes & Digital HD on September 8th.By: Danny Templegod Above: Poster for ‘The Vault’ (C) 2021 Saban Films, all rights reserved, image not monetized. Then there’s the plot twist, and suddenly, all is right with the world and you sit back, sigh, and say “man, I liked it.” Unless you hate it, in which case I definitely think you weren’t paying attention. Wait, no, she’s supposed to be bad, I hate her.” THEN, there’s some real screwed up imagery to blow your mind. It’s a rollercoaster ride of emotions – you go in feeling a little bit wary….think “how good could this actually be?”, then, you’re introduced to the characters and you’re saying to yourself: “wow, I hate them. I genuinely loved this film so much that I almost put it on for a second watch-through immediately after the credits rolled. Perhaps a little predictable, but the way it was explained was awesome. There is one plot twist at the very end of the film that audibly had me yelling – it was THAT good. Rude and obnoxious and unorganized, and they play it really well.Īnd the storyline is so interesting and strange, almost funny, but somehow it works beautifully. Manning and Eastwood are absolutely stellar as two siblings that I absolutely HATED, which is good, because you’re supposed to hate them! They’re bad guys. Give it a chance, because it will make your jaded little horror heart sing.įranco (as always) provides a stellar performance as Ed Maas, who genuinely just wants to see the staff make it out alive. It sounds like it should be a terrible, cheesy, stupid horror movie but I assure you it is NOT. I swear, you guys, I know how bad it sounds. Talk about a close family bond, right? It increasingly becomes more obvious that there is a strained relationship between the siblings, but what they really need is to stick together, because what they don’t know is that in the basement of the bank is the vault that holds all of the funds…and a dark secret from 1982 that still looms within the halls.Ī bank employee (James Franco) leads them to exactly where they need to go in order to save his staff, but will they actually make it to the cash? Or will the horrible past of the bank create obstacles that these robbers aren’t able to overcome? THE VAULT is a story about three siblings (Taryn Manning, Francesca Eastwood, Scott Haze) that rob a bank together to save their brother who owes a lot of money to the wrong people. You’ve heard of haunted houses, haunted forests…but what about a haunted bank? I KNOW, RIGHT?! I promise you, just keep reading. However, when THE VAULT came along, it felt like I was transported to horror heaven, because for once, a story I had never heard before came into existence. I know, insane, right? You all know how jaded I’ve become to the lack of creativity within the horror industry lately – every story feels the same, every character is one-dimensional and unremarkable. Hi again, ghosts and ghouls! I’m here to inform you that yes, there is in fact a type of horror film you haven’t seen yet.
